In Febuary, 2007, The GM legal department contacted me about some materials posted at CadillacFAQ.com and asked that I remove them as they were copyrighted materials. These materials included the TSB library and several other documents in the document library. After some back and forth communication which involved some lawyers, and despite my better efforts, I was forced to removed this material from this website.
What I am most frusterated about is that Cadillac would not entertain the option for me to license those materials so it would then be able to host that material. I was immediatly and completely shot down going this route.
As well, I did not want to fight a very lengthly and costly legal battle which I could neither afford nor want to undertake.
Therefore, I am very sorry announce that the TSB library and some of the documents in the document library will be removed.
I did my best to keep it available so that enthusiasts, such as you and I, would have access to this and be better informed about this car.
THE FAQ WILL STILL BE OPEN and will continue to create procedures and important information about the CTS and CTS-V just without the offending materials
Special thanks to a certain member (who will remain unnamed) of this forum who helped me to navigate the legal nonsense.
